Falcao, 27, is currently sidelined with a knee injury that has left his World Cup hopes hanging by a thread.

Monaco - who are chasing the Ligue One title - made a deadline-day move for Dimitar Berbatov to replace him and he is expected to lead the line against Paris St-Germain on Sunday.

BT Sport analyst Ginola said: "For Monaco, Falcao has been fantastic. He's been really, really good for the club.

"With Berbatov we'll have to wait and see how he will sit in the team.

"He's proved he can score goals and that's a good asset for any club. Will he do the same for Monaco? We will have to wait and see how he settles.

"It's an easy quality of life there. You can settle down in Monaco quite easily but motivation is a different story.

"Sometimes players need full stadiums and don't get the motivation otherwise. I hope Berbatov still has that drive.

"If it helps the club finish at least second, that will be a message that Monaco can compete right at the top.".
